HI there,

They should be checking the alternator out put as well, also just make sure all the terminals on the battery are clean and tight,

Well here is what I have found out. If anyone is having electrical problems, IE battery, seat belt and other dummy lights coming on and flashing while you are driving for no apparent reason. Have the Hyundai dealer check your seal around the front windshield. It appears on the corners of windshield rubber gives away just enough to let moisture in to get to integral computer connections and trick computer into reading falsely Hope this helps tons of people. Thanks knuck
